Beads etc

[Knuguy]

These would definitely be 'non-traditional' beads. I found these pom-poms at Dollarama and was thinking of 2 possible ways of using them 1) put them directly on the hook---similar to single egg 'flies' that some fishermen tie and use.(2) as a bead---thread them on the line using a big needle. I was thinking that I'd maybe try adding some scent, maybe dip in cod liver oil.

Comments?

that is basically what yarn flies are http://www.centerpinangling.com/egg-yarn-files.html

I've tried hooking the pom pom, through the hook, worked wonders on cohos orange and yellow coloured, not sure if bows will hit it, more then likely yes though.

Can you post a pic of the package?

They should work just as good as yarn flies, and look like they would hold scent well.
I tie lots of yarn flies for rainbows and sometimes they are the ticket to having a good day out...

Go with pre-tied yarn flies the colors are chosen due to success over the years. Why waste time and money fishing random pompoms hoping to hit fish.

Dollar shop pompoms work great! Used them many times, have atter! Pinks, oranges and whites are best! Better still if dipped in some skunky roe juice!
